  Tagline to noobindex: "Noobindex is a hangout for noobs, nerds, dorks, and gamers. Register your handle and make your own page »" Doesn't tell me what the value is, or why stay. 18 or 19 words, 25 syllables, and I don't know what's going on here. I click on the first profile I see (Juicebox). I see a picture of Mr. T flexing wearing gold chains, some messages (latest: Juicebox is like omgsh pwnin noobs), and a Bio page with generic contact info. At this point, I've investigated the site, and seen no reason to stick around. Now, if the tagline were: "Noobindex: l33t gamers only, for celebrating games and laughing at n00bs", then a search box below that with "Enter your favorite game and see who is playing right now" then... maybe that'd work better some? This is all just quick and dirty in my mind, but you need to get people's attention with something that makes them say, "Yeah, I'd dig that!" and then get them to interact with your site somehow.
